Description
Payún Matrú volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matrú, Agua Escondida District, Malargüe Department, Mendoza Province, Argentina 8.0 x 7.6 x 7.8 cm Formerly in the collection of Irv Brown. When these structurally astounding masterpieces first came on to the market, they attracted a lot of attention due to their wonderful growth patterns, steely-black color, with a wonderful crystal dusting atop the surface reminiscent of sparkly black sugar. This example is particularly fine, as it is larger than most examples, with extremely well-defined crystals that are oriented in a very aesthetically pleasing way..
